De Kolonisten van Catan: Steden en Ridders

Spicy expansion to The Settlers of Catan, where players deploy knights to protect the island from invading barbarians and turn their cities into metropolises. A copy of the base game is required to use this set. It is also possible to combine Cities and Knights with the Seafarers of Catan.

Cities and Knights contains merchandise such as coins and paper, which you get when a number is thrown at your city. You need these commodities to expand your cities in three areas to higher levels with the ultimate goal of creating a metropolis worth no less than 4 points. As in the base game, you roll the dice at the beginning of your turn, but now a symbol die is added. This determines whether you deserve a development card or whether the barbarian ship comes closer. Those who do not arm themselves well with knights against invading barbarians can easily lose a city to the barbarians.

Cities & Knights is an exciting addition to the base game that requires more strategy and planning. The game becomes a bit more complex, but you get a lot of fun in return.
